So that upon proper notice the treaty could be abrogated if. in our opinion. the interpretation had made its operation injurious to us. and the utmost burden we would undergo would be for the short time during which the notice of abrogation was operating.

We could tomorrow. if we chose. pass a law declaring that redheaded aliens should not land upon American soil for the purpose of residence. We could forget our very ancestry. if we chose. and provide that Irishmen should not come or that Scotchmen or Englishmen should not.
